Peregrine Falcon (juv)
Peregrine Falcon / falco peregrinus. East Mill, Belper, Derbyshire. 12/06/22.
'DISORIENTATED.' (1)
12th June marked the day that the two juvenile Peregrines fledged from East Mill. When I arrived mid-morning, one had already gone from the nesting balcony.
At about 4pm - (after several 'will it, won't it' false alarms), this one finally fledged. As so often happens, it failed to gain height and ended up at the base of the building.
This image shows it looking disorientated at the edge of an old bridge crossing the sluice.
